This is my first Lego with Power Functions! It is an RC and I got it online again, it's a second hand model, I must get a first hand model someday=D...was helping out a couple who's son doesn't like this set and they sell if off online...

So this set is not big, it has 92 pieces, and it can be converted into another few looks, but I still prefer the default look, as shown in the photos after the jump.





Compared with the Technic set 8448 just 10 years ago, it can be fitted at the back. Oh this RC is a 2009 set.

I had some problem with this set though, the steering of the RC, when you turn to a direction, it'll take like 1/more seconds to change it back to straight, maybe it's the surface which I test it on. It might also be due to the weight of the car. It runs on 3AA batteries, and 3AAA batteries for the infra-red remote control.

Basically, this is just a big block, fitted with a motor in it which we can't take out. We can only put stuff on it to make it looks nicer.

This is my first lego review...hope that helps.

    [quoting...Lion-kun thinks its pretty nice... try modding the cover to a ferrari or lambo. =D]

    my modding skills n lego bricks are too limited hehe...well from afar, it looks like a Chevrolet Camaro, u know, that bumblebee in transformers, u can try taking a lot of steps from ur screen and you'll know what I mean=)

    [quoting...Bro Kevin, Wow... the super-car really outsize this small one...Aiks, this set can't take sharp corners arrr...]

    Yesh it's super big, if not how to become the super car? hehe...I tot i can do something with the motor to make the supercar work, but all I can do is holding it and put a gear at the back of the supercar's engine rear gear, and make the motor move forward, and c the engine n the rear wheel move...quite fun...but I won't be able to make it into a Super Car RC with this set...

    Is circle consider as sharp? keke...it can go rounds very well, even when I wanted it to move forward...sob sob...

    Hmm... at 40 USD, its still allright. Anyways, how much is it in MAS? Lion-kun don't mind getting a 2nd hand model and build over it. The RC and base is good enough. Lion-kun don't like the looks of it.... =p

    Thanks for the offer kevin-san, but Lion-kun will stay away from RC and technic until times (economic) are better. Oh btw, anyone else has this set and has modded something over it?

    hehe the economy is always bad, lego prices here tend to be higher, maybe due to the importing charges...so sad...did you saw the link I posted? a guy did mod it into a truck with a minifig in it=)
